This means I can't know a friend is online if I don't try to call
him/her?

I don't like it...

Unused by nm? Why did they propose that attribute then?

I really don't like your idea.

I want to be able to killfile someone that has the habit to call every
name on the server; has nothing to say; has sex-oriented things to say;
or a combination of all, but still be callable by friends, or unknown
people just trying to do some tests...
And when I'm in a less good mood, just prevent all non-friends to call
me.
